He stole me away in the middle of the night.
A windowless cell with a floor of stone became my new home.
His many victims became my temporary friends.
He took and he took until I had nothing left to entertain him with.
And then I was abandoned and left to die, just like all the other girls.
He has no idea I’m alive.
He doesn’t know he woke the devil inside me.
When I find him, nothing in the world will be strong enough to save his tar black soul.

So, I am trying put into words my feelings after reading Depredation and honestly, I am not sure
what to even say. It’s not a secret that I am a huge fan of darker romances, they
tend to call to that dark piece if my soul as my husband would call it. Depredation though, I thought would go
one way but went a complete opposite and I don’t know if it worked for me, I don’t
know if I could even really call it dark more disturbing may be the correct
description for this one. This is a novella, so a lot is packed into a short length
and I think for me this may have been part of the issue. I think this needed to
be longer, to really get into the depth that I think the author was trying for.
The way it ends as well, leaves us, or me for that matter like this is how it
is ended? There just wasn’t a sense of closure and I don’t know if the author
plans to write more to give closure, but I think without it, a lot will feel
like I am, like I am missing something.
